Random thought (warning for major chadacter death): I'm thinking a 5+1 fic with 5 times Gaby and/or Illya save Napoleon and 1 time they don't.

Naooleon, I think, is the most kidnappable of them. Well, maybe Gaby should be, but I think Napoleon is more risk-taking and overconfident, so he puts himself in more dangerous situations than Gaby.

Anyway, it sort of becomes a running joke in the team because Napoleon gets kidnapped most often. Sometimes it's almost harmless and Gaby and Illya manage to find him and save him before anything bad happens. Sometimes he gets hurt. These kidnapings don't get joked about much and only after a while has passed. But ever since Illya came for him when he was in Rudy's care, Napoleon has a sort of unwavering faith that his partners will always find him and save him.

Until one time, they are too late.

If I was the one writing the fic, I would probably end the +1 time with Napoleon tied to a chair, bad guy pointing a gun to his head, ready to shoot him. This time the bad guys aren't interested in gaining information from Napoleon, they want to get rid of him and get away fast. So, Napoleon is sitting tied down, thinking until the last moment that any second now, Gaby and Illya are going to burst through the door and save him, like they did so many times before. And then the bad guy shoots him in the head. That's where I would end it, though exploring the grief and guilt Illya, Gaby and maybe even Waverly feel would be super interesting. I just don't think I would manage to write it well enough.

But I imagine that if I continued, it would go something like: The bad guys get rid of the body, throw it in a nearby river. They don't even bother closing his eyes. They just weight him down with some stones and let him sink to the bottom of the river. When Illya and Gaby arrive at the warehouse (or a different remote, slightly dilapidated, impersonal building), they only find a large blood splatter and a bullet buried in the concrete floor. For a while, they try to maintain hope - they found no body, afterall. However, once they manage to track down the bad guys, they find out that Napoleon was shot. That they were too late. And betrayed his trust. Due to their own failure, they lost him forever.

They search for the body, but the river is large and the current is strong, so it's entirely possible that it managed to overpower the stones, dslodge them, and moved Napoleon's body downstream. It was a rush job by the bad guys, so the corpse disposal was shoddily done. Waverly doesn't have unlimited resources to wastw looking for a corpse of one of his agents, so he eventually has to call of the search. Illya and Gaby are mad at him over this. They don't want to hold the funeral without a body, a tiny part of them stilling holding onto hope that Napoleon is somehow miraculously alive.

[3 pages of short comic. Please read panels from right to left like in manga, thank you!]

This was for my dear recipient Huggiebird for The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Gift Exchange 2023. Lots of amazing works there! Please check out the whole collection!

I love drawing anything food-related so naturally I went with this prompt lol

The title comes from the quote: “No matter where you are in the world, you are at home when tea is served.” – Earlene Grey (poet)

Illya and Napoleon are somewhere between friends and lovers and they're currently stuck in the temporary shared housing in London(but they're not complaining at all). Gaby on the other hand has the privilege of enjoying a nice flat all by herself. (If you find Illya's room and bed way too big that's because I was stupid🤣)

Not me drawing art for my fanfiction instead of actually writing the bloody thing...

It's an AU on the end of the Fountain of Youth Affair in case you were interested 👀

(lmao what's a background?)

I ate on that third one ngl 😌💅

Well... this is a certain person's fault... and will probably not only end up being the longest thing i've ever written, but ALSO the thing that is going to take me bloody AGES:

So all that you get so far is this:

It’s been near on two hours since the fiasco on Solo’s balcony, and Waverly’s words of, a fresh unpleasantness. Two hours where the three agents had done nothing but try and come to the terms of having been corralled into a team. One that looked like it was going to last. Gaby’s not entirely sure how she feels about it, partly because it scares her a little, how much they’ve grown on her, and partly because she is still waiting for that inevitable moment when Solo will finally lash out at her for getting him tortured. Though it hasn’t happened yet

Waverly: Are they flirting?

Gaby: I think so.

Illya: We are not flirting, we are arguing.

Napoleon: We are flirting.

Rofl, a Man from UNCLE page I follow on Facebook just posted an old piece of fan art I made and shared here back at the height of my TMFU obsession. That was the absolute last thing I expected to see on my wall!

[heytheredeann]

Waverly, trying to mediate after a fight between Illya and Napoleon which resulted in no less than three explosions: "Listen, Kuryakin, sometimes you just have to decide if you'd rather bury the hatchet or bury your partner."

Illya: "Well, that depends."

Waverly: *sigh* "On what?"

Illya: "Is it very good hatchet?"

Napoleon: *outraged screeching*

Summary:

Alexander took a few steps forward, and Illya silently drifted behind him. “I’m sorry, but if you wish to threaten one of my agents, you’ll have to go through me first.”

Novikoff raised an eyebrow in amusement. “You understand,” he said casually, “that I could quite literally… what was it you say, go through you?”

Alexander smiled tightly.

“I don’t doubt it,” he said. “In fact, I’m sure it would take you less than half a second to do it, so of course, I don’t mean it in a literal sense; purely figuratively, you will have to go through me. And let me assure you, I have connections everywhere around the globe, and I will not hesitate to pull any strings necessary to assure the safety of my operations or the agents under my care.”

---- A former handler of Illya's tries to threaten him. Alexander quickly puts him in his place.
